Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX80 Review
Your Comments
10 Comments | Newest Oldest First | Post a Comment
Some really good thoughts
My only comment on this camera is Panasonic's decision to use a non standard male usb connector between the camera and usb cable instead of the now standard mini and micro variants. So yet another exta usb cable to carry around and then when I do finally loose it I will not be able to find a quick and easy replacement. No sale.
Really good camera.
The image quality of this camera is awesome..I'm wondered why people are not familiar with this one..

Genghis Cohen
740 North Fairfax Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90046Map
+1 323 653 0640
Neighborhood: Downtown
From the bizarre name of Genghis Cohen, you'd think this was an Asian kosher delicatessen. You'd be wrong. The menu is strictly Chinese (besides the coleslaw & pickles) and it's good. The crowd is a mix of those who come for the Szechuan pork, and younger music types who'll either perform or patronize the acoustic music room that's just off the entrance. Although it depend on who's playing, you can usually get into the music room with a nominal fee. Come for the food, but stay for the music.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National School Transportation Association (NSTA) awarded grants totaling $500,000 to six school bus operators at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Retrofit Conference. The grants are intended to fund demonstration projects to reduce diesel emissions from school buses in districts served by private carriers.
The school district/contractor partnerships include representatives from rural, suburban and urban communities. Five retrofit technologies will be incorporated with assistance from the NSTA's vendor partners: Donaldson Company, Clean Diesel Technologies, Johnson Matthey and International Truck and Engine Corp.
The grant recipients will work to improve diesel emissions levels by retrofitting buses with diesel particulate filters, using ultra-low sulfur fuel and replacing diesel oxidation catalysts. In Wisconsin, the School District of Kettle Moraine, Arrowhead Union High School and Dousman Transport Company plan to retrofit 20 buses with the catalysts and closed crankcase ventilation filtration systems.
The other school district/contractor partnerships receiving portions of the funding are:
The six districts together contributed an additional 40 percent in matching funds and will retrofit approximately 150 buses with technology to reduce diesel emissions. The grant was given to the NSTA by the EPA to assist districts and contractors willing to make changes that benefit the environment.

The application of large-scale systems optimization control algorithms
Bakalis, Panos and Ellis, J.E. (1992) The application of large-scale systems optimization control algorithms. Applied Mathematical Modelling, 16 (4). pp. 201-207. ISSN 0307-904X (doi:10.1016/0307-904X(92)90058-B)
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
A number of algorithms exist that can be applied to large-scale or decentralized systems where the aim is to determine controller set points such that the system operates under optimum state operating conditions. These algorithms are generally applied in a two-layer hierarchical structure, where the lower layer performs direct regulatory control and the upper layer has the task of determining the set points of the regulatory controllers. Four algorithms—the interaction prediction or direct method, the interaction balance or price method, the integrated system optimization and parameter estimation method, and the two-step approach—are examined and assessed in on-line decentralized computer control. A pilot scale vaporizer system is used as a vehicle to examine the algorithms.

Democrats, Republicans far apart on deficit deal
Thursday, November 17, 2011
WASHINGTON (AP) — As the nation's debt soared past $15 trillion, congressional Republicans and Democrats struggled Wednesday to salvage a yearlong assault on federal deficits, their efforts hampered by politically charged disagreements over taxes and the future of enormously expensive government benefit programs.
The talks at a standstill, Democratic officials familiar with the work of Congress' debt-reduction supercommittee disclosed they had floated a secret counteroffer late last week to generally accept a Republican framework for a $1.5 trillion compromise, while differing on numerous key details.
Democrats signaled a willingness to cut spending by $876 billion, including $225 billion from Medicare and $50 billion from Medicaid, these officials said, and raise tax revenue by $400 billion, far less than they had earlier demanded.
They also recommended using $700 billion in unspent funds from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan for a jobs program along the lines President Barack Obama wants, plus steps to protect the upper middle class from the alternative tax and extending financing for doctors who treat Medicare patients.
The supercommittee has until Nov. 23 to approve legislation that cuts future deficits by at least $1.2 trillion over a decade. Failing that, automatic spending cuts totaling that amount would take effect beginning in 2013. That's a result that lawmakers on both sides of the political divide — particularly defense hawks — say they oppose.
The supercommittee's deliberations marked the third major round of deficit-cutting negotiations this year of divided government. The supercommittee was set up under legislation passed in August to raise the limit on the government's ability to borrow.
But with just a week before its Thanksgiving deadline and no sign of progress, each side periodically lobbed a political accusation at the other, often an indication that compromise efforts are approaching gridlock.
And leak of the Democratic offer came after Republican press operatives had criticized Democrats all week for not countering a GOP plan in which Republicans for the first time endorsed new tax revenues.
"We need to find out whether our Republican colleagues want to continue to negotiate or whether they've drawn a hard line in the sand," supercommittee Democratic Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, said. "The question is whether they've kind of said 'take it or leave it.' "
"What I've yet to see is a plan that fundamentally solves the problem," Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas, the panel's top Republican, told reporters.
Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and a member of the panel, was among few to express optimism during the day, telling reporters in his home state in a conference call that the panel is not stalemated and that as recently as Tuesday night he was swapping proposals with Republican colleagues. He said he planned to do more of it the remainder of the week.
"It's where I expected to be. The world is run by deadlines," Baucus said. "We have a deadline of Nov. 23, the day before Thanksgiving, and boy, oh boy, I hope we get there."
The talks turned particularly rocky last week, when Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., presented an offer to several Democrats that envisioned raising almost $300 billion in additional revenue through an overhaul of the tax code that also lowered the top individual tax rate from 35 percent to 28 percent. It would cut the corporate rate as well.
Republicans pointed to the offer as a possible turning point, given the party's long record of opposition to higher taxes.
But Democrats attacked it as a tax cut for the rich in disguise, and the talks seemed to lose momentum.
The secret Democratic counterproposal came from Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., according to Democrats, in a meeting on Friday with Hensarling.
In it, Democrats suggested raising $400 billion in additional revenue through eliminating tax breaks by means of an overhaul of the IRS code, and cutting $876 billion in spending.
Unlike Republicans, who wanted to lock in lower tax rates through tax reform as part of a plan to raise $250 billion, Democrats said they would find the additional revenue by eliminating loopholes and other existing tax breaks. They also said they would not extend the Bush-era tax breaks due to expire at the end of 2012.
On spending, Democrats signaled they would accept a GOP proposal to trim Medicare by $225 billion and Medicaid by another $50 billion as part of the $876 billion cut, officials said.
But they omitted other parts of the GOP offer, including a proposal to raise the age of Medicare eligibility from 65 to 67 and a different proposal to slow the rise of annual cost-of-living increases under Social Security.
Hensarling's office had no immediate response, but earlier in the day he said Democratic offers paled in comparison to the size of the debt crisis.
In addition Democrats suggested using $300 billion in unspent funds from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan for a jobs program, another $200 billion to protect the middle class from the alternative minimum tax and $200 billion more to assure funding for doctors who treat Medicare patients.
In their offer, Democrats said, Republicans had recommended using the war money, targeting $690 billion to offset the impact of the alternative minimum tax and another $19 billion for a short-term extension of Medicare physician payments.
Elsewhere, conservative criticism continued to bubble over last week's GOP break on taxes.
"We're ceding the high ground here. Raising taxes is a bad deal. I think it's harmful to the economy. I think it is destructive to this nascent economic recovery, and is bad politics as well," Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., said. "It is a core part of conservative orthodoxy."
McHenry has gathered more than 70 GOP signatures on a letter to the supercommittee urging the panel not to raise taxes. "Increasing the tax burden on American businesses and citizens, especially during a fragile recovery, is irresponsible and dangerous to the health of the United States," the letter states.
"I'm not going to vote for a tax increase," said Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., a tea party favorite. "I'm not going to go to the American people and ask them to give us more."
Meanwhile, a bipartisan gaggle of lawmakers held a news conference to urge the panel to "go big" and far exceed the minimum $1.2 trillion deficit target set for the panel this summer when it was established by a hard-won budget and debt limit pact between Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.
"This group can do it. And they need to know, if they are bold, if they are brave, if they go big, we will stand with them, and the American people will stand with them," said Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, D-N.D.
Conrad was a member of Obama's deficit panel and the Senate's so-called Gang of Six, which both recommended deficit cuts of about $4 trillion over the coming decade.

Astoria High School BWTF Training
October 09 2008 | Blue Water Task Force,
by Mara Dias
Thanks to all the students and science teacher Tim Roth at Astoria High for a great training last week! The Blue Water Task Force school year sampling program kicks off for the second year in a row, sponsored by the Portland Chapter of Surfrider Foundation. With the help of some stellar volunteers on the north coast, water quality samples from the Short Sands to Astoria area are collected weekly and brought to Astoria High School where the students process the samples.
Check out the slide show of the training.

yeah i'm happy with progress, i don't want to spend any more money on training than i do and i still put 5% on at every visit.
I am considering dropping the assistance as it's currently not progressing, the squats seemingly take too much out of me as i do them first. Once i'm maintaining the squats (soon) i will perhaps bring them back or maybe add in bench press.

he has the gear and is cheaper than a gym
Well, considering you only go once a month, I'd hope it would be. Mind sharing your current lifts and bodyweight?
i weigh 68kg and last squat was 195kg
no not particularly, that's not my bag
also they're guided, so i dont have to worry about the balance, etc... Some might say i'm missing out on part of the point (the article you posted suggested as much) but it feels strong and safe, so i'm happy
Last edited by Greenbeast; 08-23-2013 at 01:52 PM.
I have started to take a protein omly shake on my lifting days. One in the morning, one before lifting and one straight after lifting plus my evening meal. I also eat plenty of eggs and meat. Should I be taking the shake every day though? to build up a base protein level?

Longtime Disinfonauts will no doubt recognize Russ Kick as the editor of several Disinformation Company classics, including You Are Being Lied To, Everything You Know is Wrong: The Disinformation Guide to Secrets and Lies, and 50 Things You're Not Supposed to Know. In this special episode of the DisinfoCast, Russ and I talk about what it's like to attempt to pry information out of the hands of a reluctant government and how maybe, just maybe, he might just be a character from an H.P. Lovecraft novel. |

Exploding laptops, and bateries
Hi Everyone
I just saw this in the news. It's a huge recall by Dell, but it goes way beyond Dell involving poorly designed lap-top batteries. I think anyone with a laptop might want to check this out. This is a serious explosion, fire we are talking about. Take care now, Dave http://cbs2chicago.com/consumer/loca...226214039.html

I haven't looked at the article yet, but I suspect it is the Li-On battery issues. Li-On batteries are very cool, but have serious issues with charging and explosive behaviour. Internal arcing, gasses, fire, explosion, etc. Cell phones can do this too.
Boy-o boy-o, I'd hate to crash that new Tesla electric sports car. Lots of Li-On batteries in there. |

People have been burned by "generic" cellphone batteries also,they fail somehow and get *hot*!
Something I've noticed,that's possibly related..My last phone had the little contacts on the bottom for charging,etc. Several times I'd stick my phone in my pocket with my keys,or loose change,when I'd take it out to use it,it was either completely dead/discharged,or had "magically" turned itself off. So don't put your phone in a pocket with any kind of metal/keys/coins. |

Largest college internship in the United States. Teaching students how to manage and operate their own residential painting business in neighborhoods in more than 19 states from California to Massachusetts. This program is legit because they train and teach you how to manage your own business venture, and they don't ask you for any money for start-up. They provide the means necessary to build your company from the ground up. The profits depend all on the student, how much work and effort you put into their business will determine how much salary they take home a week. The residential painting business is about customer service, and hard work.
The College Works Painting internship is a unique and worthwhile experience if you are looking to run your own business.

A company that seems to good to be true, and guess what it is. They claim all sorts of things arent true including, but not limited to: Pay, # of hours working, time alocated for jobs ect. The company lie's to the managers (aka "interns"), who then lie to the painters, and in the end nobody is happy. With The managers geting no where near what they are promised by the company due to equipment expensis employee payment ect, and the painters working rigorous hours to make a schedule that is set so they can make below minimum wage. DONT DO IT!

Two-dimensional and M-mode assessment of aortic growth in the normal and growth-retarded (IUGR) human fetuses. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 2726599 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
This study compares human fetal aortic dimensions in 128 normal and 30 intrauterine growth-retarded (IUGR) fetuses using two-dimensional (2D) and M-mode echocardiography. We found that the fetal aortic root in the normally grown fetuses is significantly larger than the descending aorta at all gestational ages. Furthermore, IUGR fetuses had smaller descending aortic dimensions then did normally grown fetuses. When the descending aortic dimension in the IUGR fetuses was corrected for estimated fetal weight, it was found to be of comparable size to those of the normal fetuses. The difference in aortic size of growth-retarded fetuses is proportional to growth and therefore probably a secondary phenomenon. |

best natural mood support I have found
32 个顾客认为以下的评论有帮助
Reviewer2755573发表于 Mar 27, 2007
I have been managing major depression with supplements for many years. The low energy, cognitive fuzziness, and sleep issues have been relatively easy to address, but the mood symptoms are a challenge. I learned about rhodiola a year ago, and have found it to be the most effective treatment for mood symptoms I have ever tried. I experimented with several brands before settling on this one as the most effective. This may be due to the salidroside content - if you read the rhodiola research, you will be startled to notice that most brands of rhodiola do not include the recommended percentage of this important active ingredient, but this one does. I also appreciate that the pills are not individually blister-packed, as with many other brands. The stability of rhodiola rosea is reputed to be poor, yet this brand works where others didn't, so clearly packaging is not the only factor. The capsules do absorb moisture easily, so it is best to leave them in the bottle (with the absorbent pack) until use. If rhodiola hasn't worked for you, you should try this brand before giving up on it. Start with the lower dosage - sensitivities vary dramatically from person to person. The only complaint I have about this company is that there is not a wider selection of dosages (100 mg to 300 mg is big gap) - 75 mg and 200 mg options would be very helpful. A larger bottle would also be nice for those of us who take it regularly, but given its short shelf life, perhaps that isn't an possible.

it was recomended to me by an advisor at the tonic bar (chinese medicine) for brain funtion. I take it with Jarrow Neuro Optimizer. I've always taken them together, but I looove these products, and I feel the effects, so I know they are working. A good investment. When I first started on this combo, within 20 to 30 minutes (you take them on an empty stomach) i felt like somebody had gone in and massaged my brain. For real!

Elias AliasPart Two: Nugan Hand BankFri Jun 27 15:30:18 2003188.8.131.52 Although it has never been clearly established what, if any, arms were actually shipped from Australia, there is no doubt about the sincerity of Michael Hand's intentions. In Pretoria, South Africa, Hand incorporated a trading company, Murdoch Lewis Proprietary Ltd., to take delivery of the arms shipments. At ione point Hand summoned his Sydney employee Wilhemus Hans to Africa and met him in Rhodesia for discussions about formation of a helicopter squadron for the white settlers. Hand also made frequent phone calls to another bank employee, Frank Ward, later charged with arms dealing by Australian authorities in court proceedings that remained classified. While Hand waited in southern Africa to take delivery of arms, his close friend Bernie Houghton flew to Washington DC, with two Nugan Hand employees to arrange shipments. Significantly, Houghton made direct contact with CIA agent Edwin Wilson, then working for Task Force 157, a covert action arm of the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI). With vast profits from his contract covert operations work, Wilson had purchased Mt. Airy Farms, a thousand-acre estate in northern Virginia where he often entertained his close comrades Thomas Clines and Theodore Shackley, Hand's former CIA superiors back in Laos who were now rising fast in the agency's Langley headquarters. After fifteen years as a career CIA officer, Wilson had transferred to Task Force 151 in 1973 and was operating from the offices of a cover company, World Marine Inc., at 1425 K Street in Washington. It was there that Wilson would meet Houghton and the two Nugan Hand men to arrange the African arms deal. Australia's Joint Task force investigating the bank later learned details of the meetings from Dennis Schlachter, a World Marine employee whose evidence as a protected federal witness would lead to Wilson's 1982 conviction for illegal arms sales to Libya. Sometime in 1975 or early 1976 Schlachter first learned of the African arms deal when two CIa agents based in Indonesia, James Hawes and Robert Moore, called on Wilson at World Marine in Washington to discuss "an African arms deal" that, in these agents' words, "had to be put together". Sometime later, Houghton arrived from Sydney and came into World Marine's offices with the two Nugan Hand men to order the arms. Schlachter recalls chauffeuring Wilson and Hawes out to the agency's headquarters in Langley while the two discussed using Nugan Hand Bank to finance the shipments. Under the "cover of Task Force 157," ammunition, 3,000 weapons including machine guns, M-1s, carbines and others". With an end-user's certificate showing World Marine as the purchaser and an Australian company as the buyer, the arms left the United States from Boston for southern Africa in three separate shipments. The Australian Joint Task Force found that Ed Wilson and Bernie Houghton were also involved in the ONI operation to transfer a highly classified spy ship to the Shah of Iran. Soon after joining Task Force 157 in 1973, Wilson had earned a $500,000 fee by delivering an earlier spy ship to Iran under the cover of World Marine. According to the witness Schlachter, in 1975 the U.S. Navy assigned Wilson to deliver another high-technology spy ship to Iran. Schlacter recalls that Houghton "was involved" in this deal, working with "funds...and...payouts". Significantly, Australian immigration records show that Houghton flew to Iran in March 1975 in the company of a U.S. Army Colonel. Working through Task Force 157, Wilson purchased the ship and ordered it to sail from England around Africa to Iran. When some "mix-up" developed, Schlachter recalls that "Wilson flew to Iran to correct it." Australian immigration records show that in January 1976 Wilson flew into Sydney and stayed in Australia for three days before flying on to Iran." After fourteen months in Africa, Michael Hand returned to the bank's Sydney headquarters in March 1976 and dedicated his trade skills to a new constituency---Australia's leading international heroin smugglers.After nearly fifty years without a serious narcotics problem, Australia showed signs of spreading addiction in the late 1970s as Sydney's criminal syndicates began organizing regular heroin shipments from Southeast Asia. In a March, 1977 report, for example, Sydney's Crime Intelligence Unit monitored a series of meetings between the city's leading illegal bookmaker, George Freeman, and California crime figure Danny Stein: "Information was received that Stein was here for the purpose of organizing a network for the reception of heroin into this country from the Golden Triangle and for subsequent distribution on thelocal market and in the United States." Would-be Sydney heroin smugglers faced Australia's stringent currency control laws that made it difficult to export the hard cash for heroin buys in Bangkok. After two years of active money laundering through Hong Kong, Nugan Hand was becoming nown in the underworkd as a reliable money mover. Sometime in early 1976 George "the Duke" Countis, an American crime figure who "owned" a gaming table in an illegal Sydney casino, brought Murray Riley to the headquarters of Nugan Hand Limited. A former Sydney constable, Riley had quit the police to become a "patron" in the criminal underworld and a close associate of leading criminals like George Freeman. Just back from Africa, Hand quickly develoed what the Australian police Joint Task Force called "a close business and social relationship with Riley". Starting in April 1976, only four weeks after his arrival from Africa, Hand made five cash transfers to Hong Kong for Murray Riley totalling $295,000. After each transfer, one of Riley's underlings would call at Nugan Hand's Hong Kong office to pick up the money, later using the cash to take delivery of a heroin shipment. Through this procedure, Nugan Hand handled $4.3 million ni identifiable drug money for twenty-six known dealers between 1976 and 1980. Studying Hand's memorandum to his Hong Kong office about a $60,000 cash transfer for Riley's October shipment, the Task Force concluded "that Hand was aware that Riley was involved in significant illegal activity". As an indication of their closeness, in late 1986, acting on Riley's advice, Hand opened bank branches in Thailand, in the words of his Chiangmai branch manager, "to attract drug money". Two years later, when a yacht was sezied south of Sydney with 4.3 tons of high-grade cannabis and Riley was charged, Michael Hand ordered the bank's Hong Kong office to destroy all incriminating records of Riley's money transfers. Reviewing this period in the bank's history, Australia's Joint Task Force concluded: "Throughout 1976 Hand was knowingly involved in drug activity with the 'Riley' group in that he permitted and even encouraged the use of Nugan Hand facilities for the movement of 'drug' money. In October 1976 Hand decided to leave the Sydney office to Frank Nugan and move to Hong Kong, where he could build the bank's international division. Over the next two years, Hand worked with some success to develop a global network of twelve branches that covered Asia, Africa, and the Americas. After months of failure, Hand's break had come in June 1976 when the Cayman Islands, a British colonial tax haven in the Caribbean, decided to charter the Nugan Hand Bank, finally giving the company the legal right to advertise itself as a "merchang bank". As the bank expanded dramatically in 1977-1978, Michael Hand recruited some of the most famous names in U.S. national security circles to join the bank as employees or associates. The key figure in making these contacts for Hand was Bernie Houghton, who had taken a more active role in the bank in 1976 after his bar business went bankrupt with debts of nearly a million dollars. In early 1977 Houghton recruited an old friend, Admiral Earl Yates, retired chief strategist for the U.S. Pacific Command, to serve as president of the Nugan Hand Bank. Through the admiral's influence, a succession of such senior appointments followed: General Leroy J. Manor, former Pentagon counterinsurgency specialist and chief of staff of the U.S. Pacific Command, manager of the bank's Manila branch; General Edwin F. Black, former OSS officer and commander of U.S. forces in Thailand, president of Nugan Hand, Inc., of Hawaii; Dr. Guy Pauker, Asia expert for the Rand Corporation, a research firm under contract to the U.S. Defense Department, bank consultant. Dale Holmgren, former chairman of the CIA's Civil Air Transport, [a CIA proprietary airline similar to Air America], manager of the bank's Taiwan branch; William Colby, retired CIA director, Nugan Hand's legal counsel. The pattern of events surrounding this expansion indicates that Michael Hand may have realized his dream of becoming the "CIA's banker". Both Sydney police and Wall Street Journal reporter Jonathan Kwitny came away from their long investigations of Nugan Hand convinced that there may well have been some connection between the bank's sudden rise and the antecedent demise of a CIA proprietary, the Castle Bank and Trust of Nassau. After retiring from the CIA, Paul Helliwell, founder of such agency "proprietaries" as SEA Supply Inc. ofBangkok and Air America, opened a law office in Miami and formed Castle Bank offshore in nearby Nassau to cover the agency's covert money movements. In 1973 agents of the Internal Revenue Service were able to photograph the Castle Bank's customer list while a bank executive dined in a posh Key Biscayne restaurant with a woman described as an IRS "informant". Reviewing the purloined documents, IRS investigators found that the 308 Castle Bank customers on the list had moved $250 million to foreign numbered accounts. Depositors included Playboy publisher Hugh Hefner, Penthouse magazine publisher Robert Guccione, and some major organized crime figures---Morris Dalitz, Morris Kleinman, and Samuel A. Tucker. Eleated by the find, investigators formed Project Haven to make "the single biggest tax-evasion strike in IRS history." Suddenly, the IRS announced that it was dropping the investigation because of "legal problems". According to a later investigation by the Wall Street Journal, "pressure from the Central Intelligence Agency ... caused the Justice Department to drop what could have been the biggest tax evasion case of all time." The CIA invoked "national security" since it was using the Castle Bank "for the funding of clandestine operations against Cuba and other intelligence operations directed at countries in Latin America and the Far East." By the time Helliwell died from emphysema on Christmas Eve, 1976, Castle Bank had been liquidated. Simultaneous with the closure of Castle Bank's Nassau office, Nugan Hand Bank launched its formal "banking" operations in the nearby Cayman Islands. The opening of Caribbean branches, a new area for Nugan Hand, and recruitment of retired CIA officers gave it a corporate structure similar to the collapsed Castle Bank. Indeed, a former CIA agent named Kevin Mulcahy, a key witness in the Edwin Wilson case, gave details to the National Times of Sydney "about the Agency's use of Nugan Hand for shifting money for various covert operations around the globe". Working through Houghton, moreover, the Nugan Hand Bank deepened its contacts with the network of ex-CIA officials surrounding Edwin Wilson. After helping Hand informally with the bank's operations for the previous five years, Houghton finally joined Nugan Hand's staff in late 1978 and opened a branch in Saudi Arabia to collect deposits from American contract employees. Under Houghton's management, the Saudi branch ran the bank's biggest --- and simplest --- fraud. With introductionsfrom Beck Arabia of Dallas, a leading engineering firm with major Middle East contracts, Houghton flew into Saudi Arabia in January 1979 and rented a villa at Al-Khobar to serve as both office and residence for the bank. Over the next twelve months, Houghton and his aides circulated through the U.S. construction camps along the Persian Gulf, issuing bank receipts for cash deposits from American contract workers. Paid in cash and unable to make deposits in Saudi Arabia's backward banking system, American expatriate workers needed the deposit-taking service that Nugan Hand pretended to provide. Houghton then bought bundles of Thomas Cook traveler's checks and sent them off in commercial courier parcels to Michael Hand's new office in Singapoer. Through this simple system, Houghton and Hand collected collected at least $5 million from their fellow Americans---all of which simply disappeared when the bank collapsed a year later. Houghton's presence in Arabia brought Nugan Hand Bank into closer contact with Wilson's network of former CIA officials, now moving its base of operations to nearby Libya. When Houghton opened his Saudi office in 1979, Wilson's network seemed a step away from unprecedented power, and Houghton apparently decided to join their rise. Within months, however, both Wilson's group and Nugan Hand were plunging precipitously toward a collapse. After decades inside the CIA, Wilson and his closest associates were finally forced out in the late 1970s, losing the mantle of CIA protection that had long masked their operations. In February 1976, Admiral Bobby Ray Inman, the new head of the Office of Naval Intelligence, ran into Ed Wilson by chance and learned to his surprise that this wheeler-dealer was one of his own operatives in Task Force 157. When Wilson's contract came up for renewal a few months later, ONI canceled it on Inman's orders, pushing the ex-CIA man into the private sector. There he prospered. Between June and September 1976 Wilson supplied Libya with thousands of CIA-designed bomb timers and more than 21 tons of Composition C-4, the most powerful nonnuclear explosive in America's arsenal--thereby providing Colonel Muammar al-Qaddafi with a potent weapon for his terrorist campaign in Europe and the Middle East. Over the next four years, Wilson recruited U.S. Green Berets to train Libyan commandos, delivered weapons for Qaddafi's terrorists, and even arranged assassinations for the Libyan dictator. One of Wilson's employees, former CIA officer Kevin Mulcahy, became concerned by these shipments and reported them to the CIA. But Wilson's old friend Theodore Shackley, now deputy director for Clandestine Services [at CIA], blocked any internal investigation. In April 1977 The Washington Post published an article on Wilson's activities stating that he "may have had contact with one or more current CIA employees", and the agency's new director, Admiral Stansfield Turner, started asking questions. He soon learned about Wilson's close friendship with his former CIA colleagues Clines and Shackley, then high in the Langley hierarchy. Over the opposition of senior CIA bureaucrats, Turner transferred the two to secondary jobs. A year later Thomas Clines resigned from the CIA after thirty years' service, borrowed $500,000 from Wilson to set up his own company, and soon won a $71 million contract for arms delivery to Egypt. No longer heir-apparent to the post of CIA director, Theodore Shackley resigned in Septermber 1979 and followed Clines into the consulting business. ~end typed section from "The Politics of Heroin" by Alfred W.

Business Casual: What exactly IS It?
by AccountingWeb on
printer friendly
Most companies like the idea of casual Friday. If you're an employer you can help boost morale by offering your staff the opportunity to dress down one day of the week. In fact, more and more companies are offering the opportunity to dress casual for the entire week. However, this can leave people confused as to what is appropriate dress and what isn't.
A particularly difficult challenge in discerning what's appropriate casual wear and what's not resides among women, especially those making the switch from college to the corporate world. What's considered casual as a student most likely won't fly in a professional services firm. On top of that, women's fashions change so often and are often inconsistent. From skirt lengths to shoes to pant lengths and the ever elusive to wear panty-hose or not, questions abound.
The San Francisco Business Times addressed the concerns and opinions of a few professional businesswomen. Fortunately, several representatives from various clothiers helped shed some light on the subject.

David Copley, 60, owner and publisher of the San Diego Union-Tribune until it was sold in 2009, died Nov. 20 after crashing his Aston Martin near his home in La Jolla, Calif.
Copley, who received a heart transplant in 2005, died of a heart attack. He had left a board meeting of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, saying he did not feel well.
For several decades, the Copley Press published the San Diego Union and the Evening Tribune; in 1992, the papers merged. After James Copley died in 1973, Helen Copley assumed control. David Copley became publisher in 2001, three years before his mother's death.
But as the newspaper industry's economic fortunes waned, David Copley sold the newspapers and, in effect, retired from public life.
He financed Broadway musicals and art projects by the artist Christo. Shy and uncomfortable in public settings, he nonetheless enjoyed world travel and his yacht, and entertained lavishly at his home in La Jolla.
With David Copley as publisher, the newspaper won a Pulitzer Prize in 2006 for exposing the corruption of a leading Republican, Rep. Randall "Duke" Cunningham.
In 2009, David Copley sold the remaining newspaper interests to a private equity group.

Seed Guide 2013
Magazine Features
The Race Is On
Syngenta's unique high-tech greenhouse is one of at least three research and development facilities that opened this year.
Demand Hoes New Rows
Niche crops such as chickpeas, flaxseed and industrial hemp have a toehold on farmland—and in some cases have the interest of advocacy groups and lawmakers.
A Good Cover Up
Invest in high-quality seed to get cover crops off to a strong start.
Seed Selection Best Practices
Because the turnover time for new hybrids and varieties is ever shorter, choose those that have performed well across three or more locations.
Root of the Matter
The plant's contribution from below ground is increasingly a focus to manage hybrids for maximum yield.
Challenging King Cotton
"Delta corn acreage took a huge leap in 2007 and has been increasing since then, with more growth anticipated in coming years," says Charlie Robinette, general manager at Dulaney Seed.
Honeybees in Crisis
This year a honeybee crisis is playing out in California almond fields, where producers can't get enough hives to pollinate their crops.
Independents Stand Tall
In an increasingly competitive landscape, independent seed companies have managed to increase their share of farmers' business.
Targeted Treatments
Researchers explain the science behind coated seeds.
Wheat Quits Wandering
For the past 30 years or so, the U.S. wheat yield trend line has kept a slow-but-steady average but that might be about to change.
Sorghum Revival
Sorghum has been part of Chris Curtis' crop portfolio for the past several years. In 2012, sorghum was a standout on his Osborn, Mo., farm.
Canola Craze
Just call canola "the little yellow flower that could." More acres were devoted to this crop in 2012 and 2013 than any other years on record.
Tough-Enough Fluff
Research raises the bar on cotton yields and quality, while high yields pay the bills, fiber quality is equally important.
Seed Splitter
Raven technology plants two hybrids by prescription in what they hope will be a win-win in precision.
Industry Briefs
Read the latest announcements, releases and updates from Beck's Hybrids, Bio S.I. Technology, The Mosaic Company, and more.
The 'New' Sales Force
A professional, highly trained network of seed reps strives to maintain a high level of trust with farmers.
Focus on Fertility
Instead of expanding his acreage base like many farmers in his area, Matt Lantz is focusing on plant fertility to boost yields.
Pinch-Row Problems
Pinch-row compaction is the culprit, and the consequences are more than aesthetic.
Bean Booster
Weather extremes at planting, such as too little or too much moisture, are a sign your soybean crop might benefit from a commercial inoculant.
The Genius of GEMAA
Key seed companies agreed this past fall to a seed patent accord for biotech products that offers potentially big benefits to farmers of all major crops.
Better to Be Safe
As popularity for bulk packaged seed increases, so do the farmer innovations to help ensure safe handling.
Mining for Germplasm
Genome-wide selection (GWS) is the "new wave" of technology that plant breeders are riding.
The Name Blame Game
An urgent e-mail was sent out this past spring requesting President Barack Obama veto H.R. 933 because of a "poison pill" an activist group says is tucked into Section 735 of the bill.
Aliases Untangled
Dave Nanda, director of genetics and technology for Seed Consultants Inc., offers six smart ways to avoid planting brands with identical genetics.
Make Your Weeds Queasy
Missouri farmer Ryan Britt recently adopted no-till and manages weed seedbanks using different chemistries and modes of action, as well as cover crops.
The Trait Debate
Genetically modified (GM) seed is the cornerstone of modern crop production, boosting corn and soybean yields and making it possible to feed a rapidly multiplying global population, but clouds loom on the horizon.
Narrow Rows: Fixate on Structure and Population
The foundation of success with high populations is hybrid selection, says Farm Journal Field Agronomist Ken Ferrie.
Tech Trends That Supersize Yields
The key to discovering what technology works and what doesn't work on your farm is to "map everything," says Illinois farmer Brian Corkill.
Inside the Seed Industry
Not even the worst drought in recent history could dampen the vitality of the seed industry. Seed sales for the major companies in the corn and soybean sector remain at $13 billion.
Be on the Lookout
Corn rootworm beetles might thrive this summer.

Mozumdar, S and Patel, TS (1980) Investigation on rotating ailerons. Aeronautical Society of India, Journal, 32 . pp. 1-5.
Full text available as:PDF Download (4Mb) |
The effectiveness of rotating ailerons in a subsonic flow is theoretically studied to evaluate their capability in comparison to conventional ailerons. The analysis is based on the cortex lattice approach of Byelotserkovskii (1965) for different wing planforms of small and large aspect ratios. The rolling moment coefficient obtained with the rotating ailerons with a span equal to 22% of the wing span is higher than that for the conventional ailerons of almost double the span. The effectiveness of the rotating ailerons decreases with reduction in the wing aspect ratio, although it is possible to reduce the aileron size for required rolling capability

Agrigento's Valley of the Temples A visitor's guide
..So there is a literary Vigata, which is based on my hometown, and then a Vigata used as the set for the TV series, which is based on beautiful places such as Scicli, Modica and so on. Now that happens to me when I'm writing a new Montalbano story: I'm influenced not so much by the Montalbano TV character but the scenery seen on television..
Andrea Camilleri
watch video
Montalbano's house at Punta Secca
The Church of Vigàta (Cathedral of San Giorgio - Ragusa Ibla)
The inspector Montalbano shooting locations tour
Trace the steps of Inspector Montalbano and see the real life locations used for the TV series
The Montalbano's novels are set in the fictional town of Vigata that resembles Porto Empedocle, Camilleri's hometowns.(See details of our literary tour From Montelusa to Vigata visiting the places described in the books). However, the Montalbano movies, based on the novels, are filmed in the area of Ragusa. As a matter of fact, most of the film locations are clustered around Ragusa Ibla, an inland Baroque town that is UNESCO heritage listed in the island`s south east.This tour will take you to the major real life locations used for the Montalbano TV series and will give you the opportunity to enjoy the unique scenery and breathe out the "spirit of place" that emanates from this part of Sicily.
You'll follow in the steps of Inspector Montalbano and the other members of his team: his second-in-charge Mimì Augello, the efficient Fazio, the likeable Catarella. We make our way into Vigata in the province of Montelusa and stop in front of the police station (Scicli). Few steps away is the Questura or Commissioner's office of Montelusa. Then, we drive to Ragusa Ibla to see the Church of Vigata (Cathedral of San Giorgio) and other locations featured in "The shape of the water", "The voice of the violin" "The snack thief". Stop for lunch at "Trattoria San Calogero", the reastaurant that Montalbano goes to. In the afternoon, we continue to Punta Secca to see the exterior of Montalbano's house and Donnalucata (Marinella) where you can imagine him swimming in the Mediterranean Sea. Finally, we go to the Castello di Donnafugata (House of mafia boss Balduccio Sinagra) and the Pasture at "Pisciotto", the site of an abandoned factory that features in a couple of movies.
Tour type: private tour from Ragusa, Agrigento, Taormina, Siracusa, Catania hotels/ accommodation or a shore trip from Catania, Licata or Siracusa port of call. Chauffer- driven. On demand we can provide English speaking driver/ guide and/or licensed tour guide.
Time duration: the tour can be done in a full day (about 7 hours) and it can be extended for 2- 3 more days to include the literary places described in the novels.
Driving time: 2 and a half hours from Taormina, 2 hours from Catania, one and half hour from Licata and one hour from Siracusa
Departure time: on demand
Meeting place for cruisers: pier of Licata, Catania and Siracusa: The guide/ driver will hold a sign with clients' name. Meeting place for travellers: your selected hotel/ accommodation
Tour cost: depends on the services requested (driver, English speaking driver, licensed tour guide, driver/guide). Please ask for a quote:
If you have a favourite Montalbano episode let us know and we will arrange a custom tour for you.

Bundu Khan
Bundu khan offers more than just the kababs and parathas, but everything else on their menu is ordinary and does not deserve a space on my blog. Bundu Khan chain of restaurants has its roots from Karachi and has 4 branches in Lahore. The DHA branch in Lahore (Sector Z, DHA) has the most glassy looks.
They have increased their prices unreasonably in the recent past, while quality is the same. Keeping the price constant could mean a fall in the quality and taste in the future which will be a shame. Despite these negatives, Behari Kababs deserve a try.
Price range: Rs. 250 - 400
Cleanliness: Good

u bastard - now i have to look at all that nice food and how do i get it? here far away from culinary heaven? greetings from switzerland
ReplyDelete Buddy,
You have an amazing way of expressing your love for food and the pictures are just mind blowing. It just so happens that out of all the food in the world my favorite is Indian/Pakistani and out of that food I am sold on Non-veg and within Non-veg the one food that I crave above all else is kababs. There are days when I just get up in the mornings and i want nothing else than to have some huge mouthfuls of juicy meaty succulent kababs..... and so I have kept your page open for two days and was passing a dull Monday in office just looking at these pics and salivating.....
Anyway, I digress...just to tell you that your blog is probably the best advertisment for Lahore ever :-)(sadly, i really dont think peace between India-Pakistan is possible, but if possible perhaps some day.....) Any case, looking for nalli nahari down south in bangalore now :-)....keep posting.
RahulHey Akeel, I like the way you have review food and places of Lahore. One actually starts craving for the temptations :) We are working on a startup, www.hotinarea.com (you may have heard of it) we are the largest online collection of restaurant menus. Have a look, would love to have your feedback, suggestions and support. Thanks and keep writing these great tempting pieces!

Title: | The role of language of instruction and vocabulary in the English phonological awareness of Spanish–English bilingual children |
Author: | Diane August |
Institution: | Center for Applied Linguistics |
Author: | Catherine E Snow |
Institution: | Harvard University |
Linguistic Field: | Phonology; Psycholinguistics |
Subject Language: |
Spanish |
Abstract: | This study explores influences on bilingual children's phonological awareness (PA) performance in English, examining the role of language of instruction and vocabulary. English monolingual and Spanish–English bilingual kindergartners and first graders receiving either English or Spanish literacy instruction were assessed in English PA and in English and Spanish vocabulary, as appropriate. Spanish-instructed bilinguals were more likely than English-instructed bilinguals or English monolinguals to treat diphthongs as two units, reflecting their analysis in Spanish phonology and orthography. Surprisingly, unbalanced bilinguals dominant in either English or Spanish scored better on English PA than children with approximately equal scores on the English and the Spanish vocabulary test. This finding suggests that familiarity with many lexical items within a language constitutes a source of analyzable phonological knowledge. |

Tales of French Fries and Bottled Water: The Environmental Consequences of Groundwater PumpingRobert GlennonUniversity of Arizona - Rogers College of Law; PERC - Property and Environment Research Center Environmental Law, Vol. 37, p. 3, 2007 Arizona Legal Studies Discussion Paper No. 07-06 Abstract: This article is a substantially revised version of the 19th Annual Distinguished Visitor lecture at Lewis and Clark Law School in September 2006. Drawing on my 2002 book, Water Follies: Groundwater Pumping and the Fate of America's Fresh Waters (Island Press, 2002), I use stories about common activities in our daily life, such as drinking bottled water and eating French fried potatoes, to illustrate the horrible environmental consequences of groundwater pumping. Excessive groundwater pumping has dried up rivers and lakes around the country, including some very surprising areas, such as Florida and Massachusetts. The phenomenon comes from a disconnect between law and science: the science of hydrology understands that surface and groundwater are integrated parts of the hydrologic cycle, but the legal system governs ground and surface water by different legal doctrines. Rather than reforming the system, we have devised Rube Goldberg solutions, such as refilling dried-up lakes by pumping more groundwater. This illustrates a remarkable trait of human beings: we have an unlimited capacity to deny reality.

The student union has attracted many bizarre and otherworldly phenomena over the years, but seldom has it witnessed anything quite like the see-saw couch. This marvel of engineering—part plaything, part furniture—materialized in the SU last fall and has quickly become a campus landmark.
The base of the enigmatic structure consists of brawny six-by-six timbers strapped together with Simpson brackets. This sturdy arrangement secures a hefty length of steel bar which serves as a fulcrum for a long pivoting arm, topped with a pair of battered couches that appear to date from the mid-70s. The see-saw is anchored by a skein of high-test bungees to prevent crash-landings and reassuringly buttressed by rubber tires for redundant shock absorption.
Diligent inquiries by your correspondent revealed that the artifact was constructed overnight in situ by a mysterious band of students known as the "Defenders of the Universe." "We really didn't have much of a design," confesses sophomore Ian Falconer '11, one of the project's masterminds. "We just kind of winged it." The see-saw can accommodate as many as a dozen students at a time, and has been employed for purposes as various as studying, dancing, napping, chess, and sheer amusement, as demonstrated here by freshmen Lyca Blume '12 and Amandine Malkovich '12. Sadly, a few days after this picture was taken, the see-saw was banished from the SU, officially to make room for a theatre production. Fortunately, it survived the move and now graces the commons breezeway, where it continues to delight anyone brave enough to hop aboard.
Last fall, after the customary incantations, inspectors for the City of Portland declared the new canyon footbridge (a.k.a. the "Bouncy Bridge") fit for pedestrian traffic. But apparently some mischievous spirit slipped into the paperwork and made a few adjustments. When the official certificate from the city landed on the desk of facilities director Towny Angell, the span was described as "Pedestrian Bridge and Troll Habitat." The source of this bureaucratic legerdemain remains a mystery. However, our intrepid campus photographer managed to capture this image, which suggests that the trolls themselves may have had a hand in the affair.
